Summary

As a dietitian, one of the most common questions I get asked is, “What do I eat before a workout?” In this minisode, I set the record straight and help you decide how to choose your pre- and post- workout snacks and meals. I also discuss the metabolism of macronutrients, how what you eat can be determined by the type of workout you choose, the importance of hydration and much, much more!

In This Episode We’ll Cover:

How picking your pre and post workout fuel is personal and different for everyone
Eating before your workout
Hydration
The Science of Carbohydrates
Weight Training and the benefits of protein
Recipe Recs & MORE!
